His “concepts of a plan” sound bite would have sunk any other candidate in US political history.

Only when a Dem is in office and/or someone suggests spending money on things besides bombing brown people.

They refuse to let people have access to anything affordable.

Thiel himself said 4/6 of the founders were making bombs back in HS.

Oh for sure. My comment was just to say just because it’s closed source doesn’t mean you can’t get some sense of what they’re trying to do behind the scenes with your data.

Closed source doesn’t necessarily hide trackers either. Tracker Control (on Android) will point out tracker libraries and tracker domains closed source apps use. A good DNS blocker will let you know too by the logs.

They must be expecting bailouts.

Hegseth was just in the news for spending almost 100 billion on lobster and crab and steak.

Because without conscious effort to expand your horizons, your preferences and distastes ossify around what you were exposed to growing up and in young adulthood. However, the world continues to change. Aging also can make adapting harder cognitively.

I don’t see what people see in him tbh. He’s kinda meh as a political commentator for the celebrity status he has. It’s interesting how the left will circle the wagons around him like no other. But collargate did seem signal boosted.

While this makes zero logical sense, given what Nobel Peace Prize winners tend to do after acquiring said prize, this is not as farfetched as it may look.

I was so disgusted setting up Windows the last time I had to do so. The installation process was just upselling/shoving adware. And now every other update bricks your pc.

At the bottom of user skill, you’ve got your aunt who needs a Chrome bootloader. Linux is perfect for them, maybe better than Windows.

My school system had thin clients running CentOS growing up and nobody had issues.

Your fingerprint being one of like five people running TempleOS would deanonymize you lol.

We’ve also regressed a lot making it easier for China to close the gap. Our maternal and infant mortality rates were already terrible before gutting Roe v. Wade so those will continue to worsen. Colon cancer rates are spiking in millennials yet insurance companies won’t cover earlier screenings. Republicans continue to allow Americans to be priced out of affordable healthcare and in fact are gutting services for disabled, low-income and elderly Americans under Project 2025.

Russia has stayed in a very small area of Ukraine that is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Russians.

That “small” part is about 20% of Ukraine and they are only “staying” there because that’s the limit of what the Russian army has been able to secure so far. Putin would be tap dancing in Lviv if the Russian army could take it.

While the war in Ukraine is not the same degree of tragedy we are seeing in Palestine, there are still issues with ethnically Ukrainian children being taken from their homes and ethnically Ukranian citizens being told they must either take up Russian passports/citizenship or leave. Forced migrations also count as genocide/ethnic cleansing.

Your first postulation is correct. The US is not prepared for drone warfare and it’s showing. The US is firing expensive missiles to intercept cheap Shaheds. I suspect your second may also be true but idk.

Wait a minute. That sounds like letting the free market work itself out. We only abide by that when it’s the proles getting the shit end of the stick.

This likely ties back to Stephen Miller. This guy despite being descendant from immigrants with liberal family (who disowned him) is super into white nationalism and he gets off at the suffering of non-whites. He pioneered the kids in cages/family separation policy during Trump I and he directed ICE to be confrontational with immigrants and protestors during this administration.

The citizenship data is two-fold. It gives companies like Palantir more data to train on and also helps fascists like Miller determine who is a citizen, who isn’t and lets them figure out how to exert maximal harm. Previously this meant neighborhood raids with tools like ELITE built on aggregate data. With the backlash of the raids, they will switch to quieter strategies. They may shut non-citizens out of banking, look for any organizations that help migrants out financially and shut them out. There have been murmurs of something similar planned using data acquired from hospitals.
